Asbestos benefits oil refineries because it is heat-resistant, flame-retardant and impervious to chemical corrosion. This makes asbestos in preventing death or injury from flame, while also preventing property damage throughout the entire refinery.

Asbestos insulation protected every piece of machinery throughout the facility as well. However, as asbestos ages it becomes “friable”, where it is brittle and can crumble easily, releasing microfibers into the air and causing health dangers when inhaled.

During Hurricane Rita in Louisiana and other harsh weather, high winds damaged the insulation in many refineries, spreading asbestos fibers throughout not only the refineries themselves but out into the environment across the region.

Louisiana oil refinery workers were usually exposed to high levels of asbestos on a daily basis. With numerous refineries across the state, not only their employees are exposed to asbestos to asbestos but the local citizens as well. The oil refinery workers are not only at a high risk for the development of mesothelioma or lung cancer due to asbestos exposure, but they would have brought the fibers home after work, risking family members to mesothelioma or lung cancer through secondary asbestos exposure.

About 3,000 US citizens are diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer each year due to past asbestos exposure. According to the CDC the mesothelioma or lung cancer victim is an average age of 72 and initially misdiagnosed due to pneumonia symptoms like serious cough, chest pain, and trouble breathing. With the initial delayed symptoms not appearing until up to 40 years after asbestos exposure the delay causes these aggressive cancers to take a toll very quickly.
